I just donated one to Kars4kids. www.kars4kids.org.

I checked them on the Better Business Bureau and they are legit.

Im just wondering how anyone Else's experience with this sort of thing was?

haha no way. The place i went thru says theyll take cars even if they arent running. As long as they are not too old. The car in question here was an 89' well see if they take it or not.

Put it this way, we paid a wrecking yard $50 to take it. Yes, they charged us.

Next time, post "FREE CAR" ad on Craigslist. It will be gone / spoken for within 5 minutes of the ad hitting the site.

We did that in the local paper. Someone came by, didn't take it.
 
I donated a 95 Maxima SE 5 Speed. It had about 215,000 miles but was still running great. We were about to have our first child and I didn't want to risk getting stranded.

That was before the IRS rule changes and we could estimate its value instead of waiting for a sale.
 
i donated to 'cars4causes' and i got 700~ for my car with a blown engine.. the dealer trade in was < 100 more likely 0, but the junkyard value was 200.

so yeah.. i am happy..
